To which Democrat ic President would you associate Edwards, Obama, and Clinton...
Edited on Thu Jan-24-08 09:11 PM by 7 of 11
Edwards: He sound's a lot like FDR in many ways or maybe even a Bill Clinton that will actually try to do what he promised in the campaign. His care for the common people is genuine rather than a vote getter.

Obama: Straight up livelier JFK... in color! He seems to want be seen as not too liberal lest someone call him a commie or a Muslim.

Clinton: A Harry Truman for the 21st century. She may prove quick to the the draw in international disputes and affairs ,and in the end she may end as unpopular as Chimpy, albeit for different reasons.

2. You're certain to be called on your spelling faux pas, it may be
completely harmless, but we refer to ourselves as the DemocratIC Party, therefore our presidents are Democrat-IC.

4. OK
Clinton: Buchanan. A president that would ignore the divisions in the nation and do nothing to try and heal it. More than likely, just make it worse with any effort to do so.

Edwards: Jackson. A ramrod that would take his vision and make it so whether anyone liked it or not.

Obama: Hard to say. I am torn between Polk and Cleveland.

6. Hillary=Carter.... Edwards=LBJ...... Obama=Kennedy
Hillary is a policy wonk, just like Carter.......probably would be just as effective too.


Edwards is a firebrand, would get some things done that no one else might.


Obama is a visionary, someone who would inspire those around him to try to do great things.

9. Here goes
Edwards, a cross between Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, and Ronald Reagan. His appeal to the common voter is a vote getting ploy.

Obama, JFk and Clinton.

Clinton, a cross between Dick Nixon and LBJ.
